ASUS has been pretty aggressive in employing silent cooling technologies into their cards recently.SilentCool Technology is a fan-less, noiseless cooling solution that uses heat-pipe technology to conduct heat away from the GPU and memories and dissipates from the copper-stacked fins. Currently, the Extreme N6600/GT Silencer and Extreme AX800 Silencer are using this technology and it proves to be pretty popular among the fast growing consumers who demand silence in their PCs.

ASUS is starting to employ this SilentCool Technology to other cards like their 7800GT cards. It is also interesting to point out that ASUS has been experimenting with different Silent technology all these while. Like previously, the Extreme AX700 Silencer is equipped with ReverseCool Technology where the GPU is at the back of the card so heatsink can be more elaborated since there are fewer components at the back. Also the latest silent cooling design for their EAX1600XT SILENT card which share some similarities to the Zalman design.

ASUS has been pretty aggressive in employing silent cooling technologies into their cards recently and we will explore 3 types of their cooling solutions found on some of their latest cards.

SilentCool Technology is a fan-less, noiseless cooling solution for high-performance graphics cards which operates at 0db for silent operation and reduces GPU by 40°C compared with competing cooling technologies. It uses heat-pipe technology to conduct heat away from the GPU and memories and dissipates from the copper-stacked fins. Currently, the Extreme N6600/GT Silencer and Extreme AX800 Silencer is using this technology and it proves to be pretty popular among the fast growing consumers who demand silence in their PCs. ASUS is starting to employ this SilentCool Technology to other cards like the 7800GT cards.

ReverseCool Technology

It is also interesting to point out that ASUS has been experimenting with different Silent technology all these while. Like previously, the Extreme AX700 Silencer is equipped with ReverseCool Technology where the GPU is at the back of the card so heatsink can be more elaborated since there are fewer components at the back.ASUS Extreme AX700 Silencer is the first card to be equipped with the ReverseCool technology.

Not forgetting, ASUS too has a new silent cooling design for their EAX1600XT SILENT card but they didn’t offer any nice term for this cooling technology yet. It uses heat-pipes technology where the fins are found at the back of the card, pretty much like the Zalman design.
